History

Bazaar Productions was founded in 2003 by Sara Katzoff, Peter Wise and Timothy Ryan Olson, a trio composed of Berkshire natives and graduates of Bard College at Simon's Rock. All three founding members are emerging professionals in various artistic fields who have specific interest in creating new work and inspiring collaboration across disciplines. Having experienced the growing movement of experimental and multi-media "Fringe" theater throughout Europe, Canada and the United States, the trio was inspired to diversify the cultural landscape at home by establishing an international center for new work in the heart of the Berkshire Community.
